Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Hello List -

before I put this on Ebay I thought to ask if any of you might be
interested. I have an EMU XL-7 that is in perfect condition with all
documentation, CD, original box - it's like new. Installed is the Beat
Garden ROM with all the excellent sounds inherent to that. The Beat Garden
also has original box, docs, and all that.

XL-7 has never seen the outside of my smoke free studio. Functions
perfectly, no scratches or blemishes of any kind. I can take some pictures
and send if you are interested.

I want to sell since what I really need is a set of two more simple drum
machines with buttons - not knobs - for live performance. These machines
will be incorporated with live drum set. I have used a set of two drum
machines in the past as augmentation to my drum set (stop/start pedals
arranged by High Hat pedal - two machines for smooth seqways between songs
and styles) and thought the XL-7 might be a good way to upgrade and expand
this capability. After having used the XL-7 for a few months I find that
it's too complicated for my requirements (overkill) and basically for live
performance operability I require big buttons to + advance and - retract the
complexity of pre sequenced patterns and rhythms. Knobs don't work when a
drummer who is playing with both feet and the other hand has to reach over
and get a different sound - turn too far, or not far enough, and your
screwed. I Have to have buttons and more simple machines.

anyone care to contact me with an offer - I'd be happy to hear from you.
I can ship out as soon as funds clear Pay Pal or other such arrangement.

Thanks
